B END C LASSIC Over the weekend, the Viking wrestling team took to the mats at the 23-team Perry Burlison Wrestling Classic at Cascade High School in Turner, Ore. Siuslaw’s Ricky Huff had the Viks’ highest individual finish, placing second in the 120-pound divi- sion after going 3-1. Huff won major decisions over Robert Watkins of Sweet Home (12-4), nents by fall (in 55 seconds and 1 minute, respectively), before losing to Cascade’s Seth Everetts in the quarter- finals. Lane took down Zachary Milstead in 1:48 in consolation but lost to Ashton Adams of South Salem, 10- 1. Marshfield dominated the tourna- ment, scoring 183 points for the team title, followed by Sweet Home in sec- ond place with 157.5 points. Siuslaw finished 13th overall with 57 points, 21 of which came from the efforts of Huff. Lady Viking Eyza Abbas competed in a girls-only tournament, where she placed second at 126 pounds, defeating a wrestler who had beaten her last sea- son en route to the finals. “She has shown a lot of improve- ment,” said Viking coach Neil Wartnik.

Basketball requires a lot of experience to be good,” said Perry. “It can be tough at the beginning of a season, but J. C ITY I NV . • SHS WRESTLING AT N.

After opening with a halfcourt man- to-man defense in the first half, the Falcons switched between a 3/4-court press and 1-2-1-1 zone which, coupled with early foul trouble for the Viks, stymied Siuslaw in the third period. “We scratched our heads for a while before figuring out how to adjust,” said Siuslaw coach Clint Tatum, whose team got behind by as many as 17 E LMIRA points in the quarter. “Once we figured it out, we made up a lot of ground.” Starting defenders Brittany Long and Destinie Tatum were out for most of the third quarter as the Falcons went on a 23-3 run.

Fishing for the various warm water fish species will slow as water tempera- tures cool. There are numerous lakes in the Florence area that can pro- vide good opportunity. Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes are open for wild coho until Dec. 31. Fishing has been fair to slow.
